Hormone Therapy for Women
Greenwood, IN

What are hormones, and how do they work?

Hormones are chemical messengers produced by various glands throughout the body, including the thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and ovaries. They regulate essential functions such as metabolism, growth, mood, and reproduction. These molecules circulate in the bloodstream, traveling to target tissues where they bind to specific receptors and initiate cellular responses. Hormonal balance is crucial for overall health, influencing energy levels, weight management, sleep patterns, and emotional stability.

What to expect from your HRT experience

During your consultation at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, our providers will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your medical history, current symptoms, and hormone levels through blood tests. This thorough evaluation allows us to tailor a personalized HRT plan to address your specific needs and goals. We will discuss the forms of hormone replacement therapy available, including pills, patches, creams, and injections, and collaborate with you to determine the most suitable option based on your preferences and lifestyle.

Once we have established your HRT regimen, you can expect ongoing support and monitoring from our team to ensure optimal results and safety. Throughout your HRT experience, you may notice gradual improvements in symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and energy levels. Regular follow-up appointments will enable us to adjust your treatment as needed, ensuring that you receive the most effective and comfortable HRT experience.
